mmmpen and monkey.png

I proudly introduce to you my new pen and paper drawing called : "mc monkey mimicking pedantic individuals" , or "mmmpi" for short , or "mmmpi point monkey" in the not-long, not-short either form, for those people that can never decide between 2 extreme.

It took a lot of ...

Re: Pen and paper thumbnail


Now i'm still unsure it show all the care put into it because of the use of the pen and paper, to me it just look like a quick doodle, and i wanted some feedback before i replace all my thumbnails by this new one :

I like it. I was immediately reminded of early XKCD , which were scanned from ...

Re: nevermind -- Any desire or need for a new guide?

I suggest a guide "how to use AI" for part of those other points you mention, after reading your defense before it was moderated, it seem like you know enough how they work to use them efficiently and with ethics and i'm pretty sure there would be some value if you managed to efficently use one to ...

Pen and paper thumbnail

I couldn't help but notice no-one on the mod portal seem to have used a pen and paper drawing for their thumbnail, yet it sound such a brilliant idea that was suggested to me twice today, so i thought why not try it myself :lol: !

I have made several mods that adds music, so if i want to best ...

Re: A.I usage for thumbnails on mods




I think that the usage of “Generated Art” for an introductory photo is a good Signal: it clearly indicates that the rest of the Project is low-effort slop, and can safely be ignored. Please go take an Art class in-person from a real Human, or at least try drawing with a Pencil - you will be ...

Re: A.I usage for thumbnails on mods


How is this different than when the introductory photo is a screenshot of the game ?

Why so much aggressivity and why assume the person doesn't know how to do things differently too ?


A simple screenshot is useful - it shows what the mod can do . A piece of hand-drawn art is beautiful - it ...

Re: Landmines in the offense


You should try it, it's really EZ. after a few tries you will have the hang of it, just make sure to place the land mines in front of your character, and keep placing them till everything is dead. you wont be targeted at all. Because the biters will target those land mines. (of course: dont step ...

Re: Uranium and ammo shipping too expensive



So yeah, I think it does make the game better, because without friction on import/export of solutions you'd be shoehorned into using the same solutions everywhere.


Instead you are shoehorned into using the planet specific solutions which usually only work on their specific planet. Little room ...

Not sure where the car and tanks are coming from, they are totally not needed.

Just go on foot with landmines, you own every biter base, including all the behemoth biters, no prob, see video in the top post. place the land mines in front of yourself in a circular motion. The biters will focus on ...

Re: A.I usage for thumbnails on mods


I've noticed that a lot of mods are using A.I generated images for their thumbnails. This is to me a problem as A.I images is low effort and an insult to creativity.


That kind of generic, judgmental, poorly argumented statement sounds like trolling quite a bit to me, or is at least ridiculous ...

After reading parts of the thread... I say... yes. Add legendary trees.

It would instantly turn Gleba into my most favorite planet. xD

If legendary trees would grow faster that would make sense, but if you expect legendary ...

Did you ever use a AI yourself for a meaningful task? Or do you just cultivate and reproduce horror stories from selected AI nonsense, just made for getting attention?

Sorry, the thing is. mmmPI said that simply growing fruit faster would be anything other than adding a productivity bonus to the orchards. And it simply is a productivity bonus; because having some crops grow faster means you ultimately get more fruit.
